Golden blade straight Razor in Ebony scales. ZY 35859

ZY straight razor blades are made from a reasonable quality steel, they are one of the few manufacturers to offer a range of cheaper razors in carbon and stainless steel. They hold an edge pretty well and is preferred by some users over Gold Dollars as they do not require modification of the stabilizers prior to sharpening on whetstones. This razor is sold to us as 'stainless steel' but a the magnet test suggests not a grade with high chrome or nickel content, the grain does appear a tad finer than the carbon steel razors, and it weighs in and 66 grams. The blade grind is half-hollow and is 70 mm long with a width of around 6/8, or just over 20mm. Although some don't align perfectly, we don't consider it to be a big enough issue not to carry their straight razors in our inventory, the pros of this razor, the primary being it's pricing, outweighs the cons of it being a mass produced factory product. Please ask for more info or pics of the specific razor you will receive should you be concerned with quality issues as all of them are not exactly the same. This razor comes with a light brown leather pouch. If you are going to hone this up yourself you might want to consider taping the edge, although some we honed came our pretty nicely with a shiny silver pinstripe on the spine.
